The Mother of the Wcslcys.

She was very beautiful, and was
married at nineteen 70 q county
clergyman. She bore him nineteen
children. To tile end of her long
life her sons, especially John, look
ed up to her and consulted her rs
the best friend and wiSest counse :
lor they could have. The home
over which Mrs. Wesley ruled was
free and happy, and full oil health
tul play as amy home i'll the holt
days, and yet order and full OF
healthful work as any school. The
udious noise of the crying of child
rem was not suffered, but there was
no restraint on their gleeful laugh,
Ter. She had many wise rules
which she kept TO steadily. One
of these was TO converse alone with
one of her little ones every even
ing. listening to their childish con
LESSONS, and giving counsel in
their child ;sh perplexities. She
WAS The patient teacher as we'll as
the cheerful companion OF her
children. When some one said TO
her, "Nlly do you tell that block
head the same thing twenty times
overg" she replied, because if |
told him only nineteen times l
should have lost all my labor" So
deep wis Tie hold this mother had
on The hearts OF her sons that in
his early manhood she had tender
~ to rebuke John for that fond
wish Of his, 10 die before she died.
Ii Was lhrouel, the bias given by
her to her sons minds in religious
matters that they acquired the
tendency which, even in early years
drew to them the name OF Metho
,Ilsts. In Il letter to her son Sam
uel, when a scholar at WeSlmllllS
Ter, she said: 81 would advise yea
rs much as possible to throw your
business into Il certain method, by
which means you will learn to i'm
prove every precious moment, and
find an un>peakable facility in the
performance of your respective du-
tles.D This method she went on
to describe, eXllorting her son in
all things 10 act upon principle;and
the society which The brothers John
and Charles at'tcrwald founded at
Oxford is supposed to have beenln
